Windows Movie Maker problems

Hi folks,

I am using WinXP SP2 and Windows Movie Maker build 5.1 and am having some problems with it!

I have purchased a Sony DCR803E DVD camcorder. The camcorder came with software that will import the video onto my computer in MPEG format - with the idea being that I drag and drop that video into Movie Maker and edit it etc. The problem being when I drag & drop the video into the MovieMaker timeline, only the audio part shows up, no video - even though when I check the "properties" of the clip it shows up as a "movie file with audio". I thought it may have been something to do with the way I had gotten the video from the camera, so tried it on a different computer running the exact same programmes and versions - and found that on the other PC when I dragged the video clip into the MovieMaker timeline, it showed up as it should - a video portion and a sound portion.

I am not sure if I need a different MPEG2 decoder - I have already downloaded and installed one - and am running out of patience!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
